BLOG: SoLo Living - ChicagoNow

I am a solo female Chicagoan facing one of life's major decisions, to move, or not to move; and if I do move (within the city of Chicago) where to?

I love my South Loop (SoLo) loft, I love my neighborhood. But as most renters know 60 days before the end of your lease, is like the time before a man proposes to his girlfriend; doubt, confusion, wonder, and the nagging thought, "I love her, but I can do better...maybe?"

The idea that there is a sexier, cheaper apartment in their or another neighborhood sends many happy renters back on the market. In a city of over 200 distinct and contrasting neighborhoods deciding between here or there can drive a "sane" woman to write a blog!

This blog will diary my adventures in Chicago's South Loop as I search for a home, a great meal with a great drink, a good time, and love!

More than a neighborhood blog...

I am writing a new book, so expect to see some excerpts from the book

I love dating/relationships/Sex, so expect to read and laugh about my solo life. Expect some dating advice- some will resonate, others won't. Oh well, I can't be brilliant all the time.

I am a poet, who just published a book of poetry Searching for Cloves and Lilies, so don't be surprised if I write a po(st)em

I love wine and am an ex-wine columnist; so be ready to learn a thing or two... yes, I'm usually buzzed when I write!
